By RENRY SCHULZ
Intramural touch football reached
the stretch this week and the Phys.
Ed. club continued to hold the lead.
On Monday afternoon the Hoopsters
held the Whats Left to a twelve to
twelve tie. The Hoopsters lead until
the last quarter when the Whats Left
finally came to life and scored the
tying points.
The Hoopsters scored first in the
second quarter on a pass to Cumblo in
tho end zone Reed missed the try
for extra point.
In the third quarter Weatherby
scored on a Ion? pass and the try for
extra point again failed.
At the start of the fourth quarter
Stevens of the What's Left started
throwing long passes to Blackburn.
Blackburn caught one on the thirty
and scored easily.
With only about a minute to play
Stephens again passed to Blackburn
for sixty yards and the score. Both
of the extra point tries were unsuc-
cessful. Reed stood out defensively for the
Hoopsters.
On Thursday tho Phys. Ed club de-
feated the Polliwogs in a fast game
20-0. Wagnon and Crawford stood
out for the Phys. Ed. club and Rob-
' erts and Desmond starred defensively
for the Polliwogs.

fans of this section believe would be

known eleven will be see in his final
home game here Saturday afternoon
vith Western State.
Flippin' Foster Watkins of Dumas
West Texas State College quarter-
back whose passing and running have
figured in almost every touchdown the
Buffaloes have made this season
amazed New Mexico fans at Roswell
Rnturdav by sparking the locals to a
48-0?hix.over the New Mexico
Mllltarv Institute Cadets. Eighteen
Cbf his 27 bullet toss"es were complet
ed. The galloper also laicea uipa
and ran for one touchdown. When h
chooses to run Watkins rarely fails
to gain. As a blocker he is unexcelled
on the squad.
Tho Buffs to date have won five
games dropped two and tied one.
They started the season with a green
line and a dearth of blocking half-
backs. Frequent lineup changes Have
been made in the search for the most
effective combinations. Against the
strongest Cadet eleven the military
school has had in several years the
Buffaloes showed much finesse de-
ception and a baffling array of pass
plays.
Head Coach Al Baggett has prom-
ised that the fans will see the Buffs
at their best this week in their curtain
appearance for 1038. He will let Wat-
kins reveal tho razzle-dazzle which has
been kept under cover all season. Ap-
pearances are that the Baggettmen
will need everything to beat the in-
vading Coloradoans who will be mak-
ing their1 first trip to Canyon.

SIDELINE
By BILL AMO
Sports Editor
EN
ROUTE TO LOS ANGELES:
The Cowhands are on the spot to-
day. Several potent factors indicate
a decided advantage for the H-SU
boys on paper thus resulting in a bad
omen. The setup is perfect for Loyola
to upset the dope. Here are a few
reasons why:
First we're heralded as pre-game
favorites. This puts the Purple and
Gold machine in the hole. Favored
teams have everything to lose while
the underdogs have nothing to lose
and everything to gain. Coach" Kim-
brough's cohorts will have to fight
every inch of the way to repulse a
spirited Lion attack.
Then the coast club is out for blood
because of last year's scintillating win
by tho under-rated Ranchers. We
caught the Lions unawares with a
tricky sideline maneuver that brought
about the lone touchdown.
Los Angeles fans were stunned and
tabbed the Cowboys as "lucky hicks
from the sticks who outsmarted the
city slickers." Tom Lieb's boys are
really gunning for sweet revenge.
Another reason H-SU is behind
-the eight ball lies In the fact that
the Cowhands will stack up against
a rejuvenated eleven. Following the
Baylor 35 to 2 rout Coach Lleb
shuffled hia players about in an ef-
fort to get a winning combination.
Loyola after a week chock full of
stiff scrimmages undoubtedly will
place the strongest team of Its sea-
son on the field.
Also the Lions have suffered three
successive setbacks and are due to re-
turn to form. On the other hand our
highly-touted aggregation has won
four straight and may bog down after
tho last westward trek.
In analyzing the outlook for the
big tilt the Cowboys appear to pos-
sess a slight edge. Breaks may spell
victory or defeat but the locals look
a little stronger than the Lions
right now. This department picks
the Purple and Gold by a 13-7
count.

TOURNEY HITS STRETCH
By WACIL McNAIR
The HS-U Cowboys will be compell
ed to make n swift cross country trip
in order to get to Oklahoma City from
Los Angeles for their game with Ok-
lahoma City University on November
24. They have only fivo days be-
tween tho Loyola and Oklahoma game
and Cowboy fans are a little dubious
about the effects this lengthy journey
will have on the play of the Cowboys
in their Thanksgiving day game in
the Sooner State.
Although the OCU Goldbugs are not
expected to have as tough a team as
the Loyolans it is feared that the long
trip will more than make up the dif
ference. And anyway a football
squad that looks as well as the Gold-
bugs on paper may be expected to
break lose at almost anytime with a
surprise attack.
They hopo to break a short losing
streak by defeating the Cowboys and
make their group of hefty men look as
well on tho playing field as they do
on the roster book. They have nine
ends on their squad that arc six feet
or more in height and all of them but
one tip the scales at 170 or over. They
also have ten linemen that weigh 200
or more.
The most impressive Goldbug vic
tory of the current season was n 26 to
7 triumph over tho Austin College
Kangaroos. They also have a victory
over Louisiana Tech while they have
lost to such clubs as Tesas Wesleyan
West Texas State and Texas Tech.
The Cowboys on the other hand
hopo to be able to duplicate their feat
of last year when they beat tho Gold-
bugs 26 to 0.

Conference Talk
Bobs Up Again
W
ITII the annual intercollegiate
conference meetings only a few
weeks off talk of a new league for
this sector bobs up again.
Charles Burton of tho Dalla's News
sports staff reports that he has been
semiofficially informed that a circuit
involving Hnrdin-Simmons' Cowboys
Oklahoma City university's Goldbugs
Centenary's Gents North Texas Stato
Eagles East Texas State Lions West
Texas Stato Buffaloes and possibly
Howard Payne might be formed.
North Texas and East Texas are
members of the Lone Star confer-
ence but both schools are said to be
dissatisfied with the setup. Al-
though tho conference allows fresh-
men to play varsity athletics neith-
er the Eagles nor Lions use the first
year men in competition. Both
turn out classy teams year in and
year out and could go well In -the
faster .company that the proposed
loop would offer.
Burton states that both Centenary
and O. C. U. aro ready to join the
new league but this corner doubts
seriously that tho Gents would give up
their rather attractive independent
schedule unless they would not be

Columning On
Howard Payne
By BOB MURDOCH
As the unnual "grudge battle" with
Howard Payne College of Brownwood
to be played there looms nearer there
is much campus comment and specu
lation on the subject.
The Cowboy game with the Yellow
Jackets is always ono of the toughest
games of the season.
Although tho Jackets who are al
ways contenders for their conference
crown and many times the possessors
might seemingly have a weaker team
than usual they always show sur-
prising strength in the Cowboy tilt.
Even when the Yellow Jackets
have a poor season they seem to
consider it successful if tho Cowboys
fall ono of their victims.
Freshmen entering cither school
even though they may have never be-
fore heard of the other college soon
learn to "Hate Howard Payne" or
"Hate Hardin-Simmons" due to the
urgings of upperclassmen.
Recently some unknown H-SU
freshman poet wishing to express an
opinion penned the following poem
and much in the manner in which
Benjamin Franklin slipped his writ-
ings into his brother's print shop slip-
ped it under ono of the Brand associ
ate editor's doors. It is titled "We
Hate Howard Payne" and signed A
Freshman. Here it goes.
A spirit of fight and not of hate
Will win a grid victory that is great.
In previous years while visiting tho
halls
I'vo seen our bad slogan on many
walls;
And so has it been for many years
And many times the Jackets beat
down our cars.
Not that I'm opposed to this old fued
But I think wo should change our
attitude.
You may say "We do not mean it tho
way it sounds
Wo hnto Howard Payne only on the
football grounds."
But a spirit of fight and not of hato
Will win a grid victory that is great.
This year tho Cowboys plan to go
to Brownwood and take revenge on the
team that lopped off tho latter half of
an undefeated untied record.

Beats Tigers
Sunderman Kicks Goal
To Give Jackets Lead
Chris Sunderman Putnam soph
proved to be the spark which set eff
an offensive explosion that gave the
Howard Payne Yellow Jackets a 16-0
victory over the St. Edwards Tigers
in the Armistice Day battle at
Brownwood.
After a pass completion Hext to
Wilson which placed the ball in posi-
tion Sunderman booted the ball
squarely between the uprights for
three points which forged the Jackets
ahead 3-0 after two running plays had
failed to make necessary yardage.
A few minutes after this perfect
place kick from the twenty yard line
Sunderman intercepted a St. Edward's
pass and proceeded to lead a smash-
ing attack which saw Terrell plunge
over from the one yard line for the
second counter.
James Minor accounted for the last
touchdown with a five yard sprint
around his own right end after the
Jacket's running attack which had
suddenly come to life after Sunder-
man's kick carried them on a long
drive.
Up until the Jackets' first score the
game had been fought on even terms
with neither side seriously threaten-
ing the other's goal line. However
the Howard-Payne team returned the
last quarter to the form which won
them last year's Texas Conference
Championship.
This victory leaves the Jackets still
atop the conference heap with five
victories and one tie. Southwestern
which is a close second with only one
loss to mar its conference record is
the only team that stands between
the Jackets and the conference cham
pionship. These two teams will clash
on Thanksgiving Day at Brownwood.
This week finds the Howard Payne
team idle.

ters were to be limited to one minute
each.
At the half the Phys. Ed. club led
by a score of 13-0. During the entire
first half the Polliwogs had failed to
put the ball in play offensively as
they had fumbled the kick off and a
Phys. Ed. player recovered.
In the second half the Phys. Ed.
club went ahead to score two more
touchdowns to score a total of 26
points in four minutes playing time.
